We have been rocking and lurching and bouncing since yesterday
afternoon. We lost an hour last night. Before Clay came back in this morning, I
was already awake. I was woken by Crystal’s binoculars falling off the shelf by
the desk near the foot of the bed being tossed off onto my feet and then the
floor. It is 37F outside and mostly cloudy all day with little change from
start to finish. We’ve seen tons of icebergs. I saw a fishing boat nearby
during chair yoga. I stayed low in the ship all day. So 3 meals in the main
dining room and I skipped gentle yoga in Palm Court and went to Chair Yoga in
Stardust. Maria came in to teach from upstairs and said they had seen a
gigantic sperm whale surface and dive with its huge tail straight up in the air
on the big TV screens behind her. I’ve spent hours staring at those screens
without seeing anything remarkable! The day I skip, I miss something new! So, I
have made a lot of progress on the needlepoint. Tomorrow starts a 3-day
stretch in Greenland. Should be a busy time! Hopefully all our sailing will be
after dinner for next 2 nights anyway!
There was nothing on the dinner menu that either of us
wanted tonight. Clay was agonizing over whether to try the roast suckling pig
or the lamb curry. He really didn’t want to have the curry, it was causing him
worry. Ha! I didn’t want to order the turf without the surf but was considering
it. In the end, we were seated with a new to us waiter, Vinod. Who was our best
server yet. Clay ordered the lamb curry and loved it. He ordered the yuzu
trifle for dessert and loved it. I decided to ask if they could serve the pasta
without crabmeat in the sauce and they could and I really liked it. So, we
ended the miserable day on a high note even though the seas have not calmed and
we’ve heard it should rain all day tomorrow! They won’t find out before we
arrive at the harbor off Disko Bay what ice conditions are and if we can tender
or have to zodiac tender. I guess at this point with the rain, it won’t matter
since we’ll have on waterproof pants anyway.
